Make a quick pickle by squeezing the lime over the cucumber and carrot in a small bowl, sprinkle over a pinch of salt and sugar and leave to stand while you make the noodles.
Put the garlic, seasoning from the noodle pack and chilli paste into a heatproof bowl.
Heat the sesame oil in a small pan for 1-2 minutes until very hot but not smoking.
Pour the hot oil over the chilli and garlic – it will bubble up!
Using chopsticks or a fork, mix in the peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice and sugar.
Cook the noodles in boiling water for 3 minutes, drain then mix into the gochujang sauce.
Serve the noodles with the pickled veg.
